Goa's state government has implemented the “Kalakar Kritadnyata Nidhi” scheme to provide financial assistance to artists whose homes have been damaged by natural calamities.

Applicants must submit supporting documents to prove their eligibility, such as birth, marriage, dependency, income, and medical certificates.
